Roche: Oddo still a buyer; maintains target price

(CercleFinance.com) - After the US approval of Perjeta in breast cancer, in a three-year study, the invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) criterion, which measures the risk of a relapse in the disease or death, showed a difference of approximately 2% between both treatment arms.


These 2 percentage points (which may seem low) mean that 2 out of 100 women living much longer (sometimes several decades).

For this new indication, the broker expects potential additional revenues of 2 billion Swiss francs for Perjeta.

In all Oddo expects sales to peak at about 5 billion Swiss francs for Perjeta (all indications) by 2023.

This indication will therefore be a growth driver for Roche in 2018, along with Tecentriq, Hemlibra and Ocrevus.
